Slab lifting and slab jacking are highly effective solutions for repairing and re-levelling uneven concrete floors in warehouses. These spaces are subjected to heavy machinery, high loads, and constant activity, which can lead to cracking, sinking, or uneven floors.
What is Slab Lifting and Slab Jacking?
Slab lifting (also known as slab jacking, mud jacking, or concrete levelling) is a process used to raise and stabilize sunken or uneven concrete slabs. It involves injecting a material beneath the slab to fill voids, improve the ground, and restore the slab to its original level.
Common materials:
- Mudjacking: A mix of sand, cement, and water, offering a cost-effective option.
- Polyurethane Resin: Lightweight, durable, and fast-curing, ideal for heavy-duty applications like warehouse flooring.
Why is Slab Lifting Critical for Warehouses?
- Operational Efficiency: Uneven floors can slow operations, disrupt workflows, and damage equipment.
- Worker Safety: Level surfaces minimize tripping hazards, protecting workers and equipment operators.
- Equipment Longevity: Uneven floors can lead to wear and tear on forklifts, pallet jacks, and other machinery, increasing maintenance costs.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Slab lifting is faster and more economical than replacing concrete slabs, reducing downtime.
- Preventative Maintenance: Stabilizing slabs prevents further structural issues, such as foundation damage or misaligned racking systems.
Applications of Slab Lifting in Warehouses
Forklift Pathways: High-traffic areas where forklifts frequently pass can develop sinking or cracks.
Storage Zones: Heavy pallet loads can cause settlement and uneven floors in storage areas.
Loading Docks: Areas exposed to repetitive loading and unloading often experience slab movement.
Walkways and Aisles: Keeps paths smooth and safe for workers and equipment.
Transport Yards: Re-levelling surfaces in transport yards where trucks and trailers maneuver, preventing potholes and ensuring smooth transitions to loading areas.
Car Parks: Lifting and re-levelling slab surfaces in car parks to eliminate uneven surfaces, improve aesthetics, and enhance safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
Slab Lifting Process
Signs Your Warehouse Needs Slab Lifting
- Cracks or gaps in the concrete floor.
- Uneven surfaces causing instability for racks, shelves, or equipment.
- Pooled water in low spots.
- Forklifts or carts struggle to move smoothly across the floor.
- Doors or equipment misaligned due to floor settlement.
